Switching sides glitch [Solved]
Well, no matter what I do in my level, I can't be the CIS. Every time I click CIS or try to switch to it it doesn't do anything. Anyone know how to solve this?

Re: Cannot be the CIS
Post the LUA anyway, please.
EDIT: Is it a campaign level?

Re: Cannot be the CIS
I don't think that this is the problem, but try removing this line:
I didn't see that in my default LUAs.
Describe the problem more, please. When you switch, does it act like you've switched but you still see the republics? Try clicking the switch button rapidly. (It works for me sometimes)
Code: Select all
SetUberMode(1);

The Ubermode...ahhh I guess I could remove it. I do like lots of units but I guess I could do without it to see if anything changes.CressAlbane wrote:I don't think that this is the problem, but try removing this line:I didn't see that in my default LUAs.Code: Select all

Yes, it acts as if I switch (the names and textures and everything changes, but when I click on another unit the texture changes back) and if other people play this map I really don't want them to have to click it rapidly.
EDIT: Yay! It worked! Thank you!

Re: Cannot be the CIS
Removing the SetUberMode(1); line should have no effect on what you were experiencing; they're not even related.
That happens in the stock game itself at times; it's an unfixable glitch....Noobasaurus wrote:Yes, it acts as if I switch (the names and textures and everything changes, but when I click on another unit the texture changes back) and if other people play this map I really don't want them to have to click it rapidly.

Re: Switching sides glitch [Solved]
Or could it do with the fact that he had 500 units on each side?
When he removed the ubermode line it dropped the units back to 32 each.
Try adding back in the ubermode line but setting each side to only 300 or less units, that's all the game engine can handle, not 500.

But I don't think this map was made for ubermode so I'll just keep it off the lua.
Heh, a a bit too many units... That's probably what made the error.
Whenever it happens I spawn and kill myself and I'm usually able to switch sides.AQT wrote:That happens in the stock game itself at times; it's an unfixable glitch....

Its an unfixable glitch because its impossible to prevent it from happening, regardless of a workaround ingame.Noobasaurus wrote:Whenever it happens I spawn and kill myself and I'm usually able to switch sides.AQT wrote:That happens in the stock game itself at times; it's an unfixable glitch....

Re: Switching sides glitch [Solved]
It happens unpredictably at times regardless of the unit type you died as.
